Starsector version 0.8.1a is now out! The release is mostly focused on quality-of-life features, polish, balance, and bugfixing, though it does include a bit of new content as well. Some highlights:

New “Interdiction Pulse” campaign ability

New campaign music track

“Fighter Strike” combat command

“Lay in course” using right-click

Colossus Mk.II and Mk.III (militarized versions of the Colossus freighter)

… and a ton of smaller fixes and improvements

Of particular note to mod users: the game now comes with 64-bit Java, so there’s no need to manually swap it in if you’re running a large number of mods. If you’re on a 32-bit Windows system, not to worry – the installer will automatically detect that and proceed accordingly.

The full patch notes, and the comment thread, are here. You can download the new version here:
